The only thing that stops the dust is the rain. It’s a sweet reprieve, but there is no middle ground. The land is either as dry as the Betty Ford clinic, or as wet as the ocean floor. Everything can be seen from the ridge overlooking Armadillo as John Marston gently bounces along atop...

I'd try, but I get games after the curve and the only ones I get on release date are ones that everyone also grabs so I have no edge.
You know what - why not. I'll give it a spin.

The beautiful thing is you'll have the game before anyone else! That'll give you all the edge in the world!
Seriously though, Reviewing games is not about skill whatsoever. Sure, you have to be competent enough to grasp the mechanics and think about them critically, but c'mon.... I review games and I have zero competitive skill. I'll send you a PM shortly.

What is your writing style? Technical? B2B? While yes, some folks simply won't have the writing ability to make it work, others can learn the skills they are lacking in. Style comes second to things I mentioned above, the competency to grasp controls and mechanics and think about them critically. My biggest requirement is meeting a deadline. That's another hurdle that a lot of people may struggle with. If you are interested and want to try a no-pressure "see how it turns out" review, we can work that out. That's what everyone will start on, truly.

Yeah, I'd say a lot more analytical/dry/technical.....My biggest influence in writing was my no nonsense High School English teacher. I was a state winner in a national essay contest once though!

I was gonna send in an application, but this is the absolute worst time for me. As I mentioned before, I'm both teaching a class and doing my thesis. Literally any other period of time I would be on this like, uh, flies on... honey? Some analogy like that._________________
